Re: [PLUG] swappiness and ssd

Not at all. It's the default I had recommended to me by the Arch wiki, some knowledgeable friends, and I think also Rich Prime. It works for me, though I still have an issue where VMware stalls my whole machine for 5-30 seconds every 3-5 minutes if I don't manually disable khugepaged defrag. Ah well.
